Chapter 1464 1464: No way in
My father would know more about it, though. We need to leave this place first to find him. The faster we find him, the faster we can think of a way to go back.
Come, we cant afford to waste more time! Zhu Chang started walking where he came from, trying to find a way out. Also, Im already frustrated. I dont have time to hear your nonsense. So be serious this time, if you can be.
What do you mean be serious? Im always serious. Moreover, my right hand mans life is in danger. Of course, I will be serious. I need to protect him!
You need to protect him? Youre literally the weakest creature here. How do you suppose you can protect him? What you need to do is stay silent and let me take care of this problem!
Zhu Chang had walked for only a short distance before stopping. He noticed a Spatial Portal before him. Through the Portal, he could see the mountain top.
This is the exit. Come, Zhu Chang commented.
He took a step towards the portal, only to stop finding a hand touching his shoulder.
Finally, I found you! A mans voice fell in the ears of Zhu Chang.
Recognizing that voice, Zhu Chang turned around. Uncle? What are you doing here?
I came here to save you.
Save me? What? What do you mean?
Ill tell you later. First, we need to leave. This place isnt right. The middle-aged man said. He held the wrist of Zhu Chang.
Wait! Zhu Chang resisted, taking a step back instead.
I cant leave now! Its good that youre here. I needed some help. I need a way to get back to the Ancient Temple again. But after I returned once, the door closed. You can help me go back.
Wait? You already went there?
I did, Zhu Chang answered. But I accidentally left my friend behind, trapped in the temple. I need to go back to help him out.
Go back? Thats impossible now, the Middle aged man responded. A person can only go there once in their lifetime. If you already went there once, that means you cant go back again.
Then, my friend? Zhu Chang asked. If hes trapped inside, there is probably no way to get him out now. You cant go there. And its Im not wrong, the other Heirs must have already finished their exploration.
Ive been there before as well, so I cant go either. Its impossible now. Forget that man. He isnt coming out.
That cant be. We need to get him out! Maybe we can send the ones who havent been there before? There must be many people in the clan?!
There would certainly be many, but the time is that they dont have the purity of bloodline thats needed. If they come, they wont even make it to the door, let alone go inside.
We would need to train someone, especially for this task which will take time. Even in that case, youll need to come back. Your father will decide what to do.
Why are you so eager to take me back?
I told you Ill tell you everything outside. First, you need to leave. An enemy has infiltrated this tomb. Hes roaming around, killing our people. You cant be here as you might get hurt. So come with me. Well wait outside. We need the s.p.a.ce!
This time, the man didnt listen to Zhu Chang. As he was stronger than Zhu Chang, he was able to use more strength and drag Zhu Chang inside the Portal, taking him away.
The Snake Monarch also entered inside the portal, taking one last glance. He couldnt save Long Chen alone. And if what the man said was true, then this place was dangerous. He couldnt stay behind.
Zhu Chang and the Snake Monarch came out of the portal, appearing on the main platform on the top of the mountain in the middle of all the statues. The Portal behind them disappeared.
This. Zhu Chang noticed all the blood on the ground. This entire mountain was empty as well. Is it done by that person? He killed who was here?
He did, it seems. I didnt find even a single person when I entered this place. It was completely empty, the middle-aged man answered, sighing.
Only a single trail of blood was here at the entrance, which Im a.s.suming was used to open the entrance by him. If it werent for this, not a single blood droplet wouldve been left behind, he further continued.
Killing everyone without leaving a single droplet of blood behind! Just who is this person? Who dares to infiltrate the Black Tortoise Realm? Who is so fearless? Zhu Chang asked as his fists clenched.
He isnt someone you know. We call him Devourer. He has been someone we have been trying to kill for a long time, but he always runs and finds a way to hide in the vast s.p.a.ce. This is a monster who loves to eat the souls of G.o.dly Beasts.
I dont know whats his enmity with us or why he does it, but hes been a headache for all G.o.dly Beast Clans.
So hes an enemy of all G.o.d Beast Clans? And hes still alive? Zhu Chang asked, stunned. How is that possible? Even the Dragon Clan couldnt kill him?
As I said, hes a very cowardly person. He hides whenever we get close to him. And he only targets youngsters and avoids people like us since he knows it might get worse for him. However, this time I wont let him escape. This time he dared to enter our home. He cant escape, at any cost!
Do one thing, leave and meet your father. Tell him I located the Devourer, and hes inside the Tomb. Ill keep an eye on the exit in the meantime. If he comes out before your father gets here, Ill kill him myself. If not, we can surround this place. You understand? Be fast.
Im not leaving you, Zhu Chang said. If that person thinks he can kill whoever he wants, then he hasnt met me. Today will be his last day. Ill give you a backup. We dont need father.
